Regardless I don't buy the argument of these people being loaded. Wealthy buisness people, doctors, buisness owners, work hard for their money and would never blow it online like that.

thats not true. Every group you mentioned has a good amount of gambling members.

I have a feeling the people on the top of that list are on the low income spectrum in society. 75 Percent probably maxed out their credit cards, and because of their little binge won't be able to get their children gifts for the holidays. Half of those who maxed their credit cards will end up disputing the charge, or E-CHECK. Thus fueling the debate for banning online gambling in the U.S. Not only that but these games are taking money away from the same people many on here profit from week in and week out.

That is my no spin take on the matter.

Not everyone who loses a lot of money gambling can afford it, but those who lose the most usually are the wealthiest, and CAN afford it. An exception would be the guy in Owning Mahoney.
